Thanks Adam for your quick reply but, the coach never sent him to the locker room. He was so upset that he fouled out. They were the #1 team with a record of 11-1, we were the #8 team w/ a record of 1-11. It was the 4th quarter, he fouled out, he was upset. They were losing.
I wasn't trying to influence the call. I was looking at my player getting ready to shoot his FTs. Never looked to the other bench. The ref blew the whistle, ordered the young man back, and held the ball. I didn't go, "oooohh, he left the floor/bench." Had the ref never had blew the whistle and ordered him back. Probably, no one would have known.
I'm sorry if I sound full of emotion. You have got to understand, we lost in OT by 1, this happened minutes before the OT. 2 FTs and a possession is worth more than gold at that time.
